The untimely death which annually
carries off thousands Of human beings in the

first approach of consumption is insidious,
and the sufferer himself is the most uncon-
alarming symptoms Of this dread disease
is, in fact, the ineradicable hope, which
turks in the heart Of the victim, preventing
him from taking timely steps to arrest the
malady. That it can be arrested in its
earlier stages is beyond question, as there
are hundreds of well-authenticated cases
where DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-

The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1887-11-04

The family of Mr.. Henry Helnsman. &
prominent farmer living about two and
half miles north of the city, was thrown
into CONSERVATION this morning by the
discovery that young lady, Miss Ross
Fister, who had resided with them for fit:
teen months was dead in her bed. No
responding to repeated calls. the room
which she occupied was entered and the
sad spectacle presented itself. The
young lady lay dead, though what
was the cause of her demise was and still
is on unexplained mystery. As soon as
word of the occurrence was brought to
the city, Deputy Coroner Shoemaker
fastened to the house and investigated
the affair, but could find no grounds that
would warrant the summoning of cor
oner's jury. Coroner Paddock, County
Attorney Smith, and the health officers
were informed of the matter, but 1t is
not likely that an official investigation
will be made. ss
The young lady was seventeen years OF
age, and an orphan, but had some prop
erty coming to her. She had one young
er sister. She was to have lived at the
home of Mr.. Helnsman until she be-
came of age, and she was much thought
of by the members of the family, whose
grief at her death is as great as if one
of their own relatives was dead. Miss
Fister retired in apparently good health
last night at ten o'clock, and the cause of
her death is yelled in deep mystery.

A wise exchange writes as follows:
The man who has faith IN his town,
makes it the subject Of cheerful CONVEX
sauon. writes of it with words of hope
and confidence and attractively sets
forth its advantages, sells all he can at
home, tries to invite people from other
places, instead of sending the people OF
his town to other places to trade, takes
a personal interest in all the movements
tending to develop the resources OF his
whenever he goes abroad
he leaves an impression in the minds OF
strangers that there is no town on the
continent like it. He viii see in public
something desirable
though it may add few cents to his
taxes. Such a man as that is an inspira-
ton and a blessing to town. Success
comes to a community when its people
believe in it, and their works
show faith. The tramp is an outlaw IN
every community, and the grumbler
ought to be. The man who is of any |
permanent good in the world is one who
plants himself in home, becomes
lseful and interesting member of socie-
v, is active and public spirited, encour-
Iges every laudable enterprise, and sees
n his own town grand possibilities for
he future. Stand up for your own town.
